I struggled my whole life with my weight. I was always a “bigger” person, though I tried to shed the extra pounds and become healthier many times. But I just couldn’t do it.
My wakeup call came when I realized I’d reached over 250 pounds —at five foot two! I had high blood pressure and high cholesterol. My back and knees hurt all the time. My weight had damaged my joints so much that I needed another hip replacement surgery.
I began my Dream Body journey with the goal of reaching 145 pounds in eight months. By adopting the Modern Lifestyle, I was able to meet this goal of losing 105 pounds! And I did it in seven months.
*My blood pressure is under control.
*My cholesterol is in normal range.
*I am pain free in my lower back and…
I feel great. I have so much energy. I burned fat and gained strong muscles. I am in a great mood. I have more confidence in myself.
My whole outlook on life has changed. I’ve changed so much that when people see me, they don’t recognize me. When they ask what my secret is, I say, “It’s the Modern Lifestyle with Martial Arts World.

I wish there were more than 5 stars to give them because our experience has been nothing short of amazing.

The staff is awesome and has partnered with us to ensure our son is learning and developing life skills such a discipline, respect and appropriate boundaries. I would highly recommend Martial Arts World and have not been able to stop telling everyone about our wonderful experience there.

Martial Arts World has been a game-changer for our family. Their summer camp and after-school program have made such a positive impact on my son. Not only is he staying active and healthy, but we’ve also seen a huge boost in his self-confidence, focus, and discipline. The instructors are incredibly supportive and truly care about each child’s development — both physically and emotionally. My son looks forward to every session and comes home excited about what he’s learned. It’s more than just martial arts — it’s life skills, respect, and a strong sense of community. We’re so grateful for everything this program has done for our child. Highly recommend Martial Arts World to any parent looking to support their child’s growth and happiness!Posted on Jesse MeadowTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What a great place! We started with our first daughter in their summer camp and because of that great experience, enrolled for after school during the year as well. Its now been two years and our youngest is old enough to join her sister for their summer camp and after school programs. The training is great but it's the culture and family environment that puts MAW ahead of all others for us. From the Grandmasters to the instructors in training, everyone is passionate, dedicated, and welcoming. Highly recommend.Posted on Stephanie ColemanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our son started the after school program this year and it has been amazing!
